The funny thing about THC

My plants r coming along quite nicely and have started to develop THC crystals on the leaves and baby buds. Seeing this makes me think back to the image of THC under a microscope, when viewed super up close the crystals resemble mushrooms. I can't help but find it funny that Theron psychoactive component to marijuana looks like tiny clear mushrooms, seeing as how weed is a really minor psychedelic. Just thought I'd put that out there cuz I find it quite interesting

While the trichromes contain THC, they are not the lone part of the plant containing it.

^this I find it very interesting that trichromes look like that up close. And although I realize that it's not the only thing with THC in it, and correct me if I'm wrong, but they have the highest concentration of THC and the other compounds in weed, right? Lol

I didn't think they did. But I could be wrong on that.

I thought that was common knowledge.  What else would make hash so special?

Because it's just concentrated from my understanding. I could be way off on this. I lost my reference books somehow, and am too lazy to look it up right now.

That's y hash can be made from any part of the plant, even if u don't use the bud to make hash u can still make plenty from all the leaves and stems.

I'm aware that actives are present in the actual bud and leaf matter, but for my whole smoking life I've been under the assumption that traditional hash was just pressed trichomes, and that's why hash was so much more potent. Because the trichomes are more concentrated than the other leaf and bud matter.

In a sense ur right but there's a shit load different kids of hash, and wut ur referring to is pretty much the most basic form, basically compressed kief, but there's lots of other kinds, butane hash oil for example is just a straight up THC extract, it pulls almost all available THC out into a nice big goop of wax

I'm not sure, THC sit the only chemical in weed so I'd imagine other compounds r present in BHO as well, but that's worth looking into

I make iso oil all the time, will be doing BHO once I harvest my latest plant. I know it's referred to as hash oil but I consider it more of a chemical extraction. When I hear someone say "hash" I think of traditionally made pressed-pollen hash from super-fine steel mesh, or even "ice water hash".
